Now what about the Fuel 2009? Let’s sum up the conclusions on the Fuel 2009 so far.

- No more 5th line on the Slinshot Fuel 2009
- Different profile on the leading edge
- Fuels’ strap is above the bar!
- The Fuel 2009 is even faster
- The best durability out there.

Or is the Fuel 2009 the same as the Hadlow – Flexifoil machine? Read more about the Fuel 2009..

The Cabrinha Convert is the newest generation of all-round freeride kites. The Cabrinha Convert is simply the easiest and most secure way to get a kiter up and riding in the shortest amount of time, with the least amount of hassles.

The Cabrinha Convert is a full scale Bow kite from leading edge to trailing edge. This design delivers an incredibly wide wind range, stable easy handling and perhaps the most important feature on any kite: and thats an enhanced relaunch function that is second to none.

Nobile aimed to create a kite in the Nobile NHP 666 that features all the good parts of a C shape. Fast, direct and axial turning with positive but not hard bar pressure, great unhooked performance and considerable lift. And picture the Nobile NHP 666 with all these features and still behaving like a flatter kite with massive depower.

So the Nobile NHP 666 handles gusts very well. Especially with a fifth line which is enhanced with multiple leading edge attachments and a natural arc technology. The split line attachments allows the centre of effort of the kite to move forwards when depowering. with this features the Nobile NHP 666 offers near bow levels of depower.

But still I think that the Nobile NHP 666 has to prove itself and that the next edition (Nobile 2009) will be the one you want to buy!

Before we tell you all about the characteristics of the Cabrinha Switchblade you must know that Cabrinha was the first company to ever launch a bowkite. This was of course Cabrinha’s Crossbow. The second in line is the Cabrinha Switchblade. The Switchblade has a significantly rounder arc and thats why it has an easy handling and dito relaunch. Other differences include slightly less lift and increased stability, making the kite less affected by gusty, unpredictable wind. In other words: the perfect beginners kite wouldn’t you say?

Advance is a kiteboarding brand which makes kites since 1996. Although it is not yet widely known, the odd shape of the kite (inverted naish helix ;-p) will ensure that the brand will stick out from the crowd.

Advance produces the Advance Kondor (C-kite Freestyle) and the Advance Kaiman.This review will go indepth with the Kaiman.
